Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large freezer-safe bag or container. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. If you’re using fresh herbs, add them now. Seal the bag or container tightly.
- Label the bag or container with the date and contents. Lay it flat in the freezer to save space and allow for even freezing.
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the freezer and place it directly in a baking dish. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste with extra sauce halfway through for added flavor.
